"As it turned out, I’d met my match. The staff who’d been there longer were correct in their assessment I could not fix the long-standing issues. The effort was like trying to grasp a handful of water out of the tap." 👀

Live from a padded room: Jesse Brown is interviewed by Jon Kay.

The staff who spent years building Canadaland deserve better than how they were characterized in this interview.

I listened to this podcast from last week, a somewhat hostile interview with JB, but I'm not sure it really did it for me. I appreciate the effort, but I think JB was able to run circles around the guy.

Accounts and Accountability ft. Jesse Brown (Podcast)

Posing the hard questions to Canadaland's founder

The Catch
for example I don't really get the focus on the hate crime statistics and disproving/problematizing them. 🤷 seems to me that far too much of the interview was spent in the weeds on this issue, whereas JB's newfound alliance with many right wing figures, who are happy to collaborate with him in attacking Palestinian solidarity movements is the bigger issue.
